The Coffin of Andy and Leyley: Episode 3

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley: Episode 3A continues the disturbing saga of Andrew and Ashley Graves, pushing the story into darker and more surreal territory. Accessible only through the Decay route, this episode explores Andrew’s increasingly fractured state of mind as he secretly uses Ashley’s trinket to glimpse a horrifying future. A failed ritual involving a camper family forces the siblings to retreat into the Demon Realm, where trust breaks down further. Ashley is assigned the task of soul gathering, while Andrew remains behind, unsure of his role and increasingly suspicious of the demon’s intentions.

The Demon Realm and Andrew’s Collapse

Separated from Ashley and emotionally unstable, Andrew is exiled to a bleak void called the In Between. His attempt to reconnect with the demon fails, instead summoning Something Terrifying—now revealed as Lord Unknown. This ancient entity probes Andrew’s mind, unlocking deeply buried thoughts and suppressed emotions. Through a series of flashbacks, it becomes clear that Andrew is overwhelmed by guilt, grief, and inner conflict, especially regarding his obsessive attachment to Ashley. Rather than reject him, Lord Unknown offers companionship, proposing a deal that leads Andrew toward a new and uncertain path.

Themes, Visuals, and Disturbing Outcomes

Episode 3A continues the game’s use of pixel art to depict emotionally charged scenes with heavy atmosphere. Visually minimal but symbolically rich, the environments shift between corrupted memories and dreamlike landscapes that mirror Andrew’s psyche. The episode offers multiple endings, each highlighting the consequences of the characters’ choices and mental decline. Whether Andrew aligns with Lord Unknown, falls into ruin, or becomes further entangled with Ashley depends on the player’s prior decisions. The Coffin of Andy and Leyley doesn’t hold back in portraying cycles of abuse and trauma through a distorted lens of psychological horror, making Episode 3A its most intense and unsettling entry so far.
